CIBNOR succeeds in patenting a process for the enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut paste and obtaining food products for animals

CIBNOR PRESS RELEASE. Héctor Nolasco Soria from CIBNOR, obtained patent MX380202. Héctor Nolasco Soria, Senior Researcher at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, S.C (CIBNOR), has generated an invention that is related to the fields of biotechnology and food. This refers to a process of hydrolysis of coconut paste, under controlled conditions of pH and temperature (Fig. 1), for the generation of free oligosaccharides and peptides, by the action of cellulases and proteases, which give it a greater nutritional value. and attractive. The technological project is within the strategic lines of the substantive programs of CIBNOR, and responds to the problems of the aquaculture and food sector. This productive sector has identified fundamental aspects of attention that include: the search for alternative ingredients in the formulation of food, for the total or partial substitution of fish meal and soybean paste, which have a very high demand and price in the market. ...
